Yavapai Big Brothers, Big Sisters was founded in 1971 to provide one-to-one mentoring relationships for young people in Yavapai County. Since then, they have served more than 12,000 youth, ages 6-24, by helping many of them stay in school, improve their grades, and graduate from high school.

There are different ways to be a “Big.” A Big Brother, Big Sister, Couple or Family, and a “Little” spend a few hours a month together. A Big can also be school based. There they can visit their Little at school once a week and join the Little for lunch or play and help with schoolwork.

Big Brothers, Big Sisters qualifies as an Arizona State Tax Credit program up to $987 per couple for 2025. Stop by the Caring for America booth for more information or visit azbigs.org.
